FOREWORD 


Tue fifth decade added little to our class records. 

The men, instead of becoming more garrulous as 
they grow older, are disposed to be more reserved 
about themselves. Many names have disappeared 
from the roll; Wooten has come East as Professor of 
Law at Notre Dame University. About one-third of 
the Class have retired from their respective jobs. For 
most of us the period of constructive activity has 
passed. Old age has its compensations: Given the 
philosophy or faith to bear with tranquillity the fact 
that this is a world of partings, life is much less com- 
pelling and we can shift the burdens to stronger and 
more willing shoulders. 

The Fiftieth Reunion was certainly a great success, 
and the men who returned (twenty out of a possible 
thirty-one) had a great time, fighting over the old bat- 
tles and getting acquainted with the new Princeton. 

Formal obituaries have been omitted because they 
have been published in the Alumni Weekly. 

Henry Morrat, President 


Tuos. W. Harvey, Secretary

VERSES 


BY CHARLES RICHARD WILLIAMS 
READ AT THE DINNER OF THE 
CLASS OF 1875 
COMMEMORATING THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY 
OF GRADUATION 
PRINCETON, JUNE 12, 1925 


I 


I cry you hail, dear friends of many days, 
Now past and gone! How various are the ways 
Our feet have trodden, in our zeal to climb 
Where rose the heights of life, serene, austere, 
Since that far era of youth’s happy prime 
When first we gathered here! 


I wonder if the dreams that we dreamed then 

Of what our lives should be when we were men— 
Oh, more than marvellous those dreams of youth!— 
Have in one case come true! You smile—good sooth, 


A wistful smile!—as you your dream recall, 
How big with promise, and then think how small 
Has been the outcome. Ah, but that is Life! 


6 CLASS OF °%75 


The future bides unknown—its peace or strife. 
We never know a moment in advance 

What fate or fact or scheme or choice or chance 
May intervene to check or change our course; 
We seem directed by an Unseen Force 

This way or that to unknown ends; but still, 
Clearly conditioned by our worth and will! 


So, though those dreams of ours came never true, 
We've done the tasks that we were set to do. 

In all the feverish ferment of our age, 

We've played our part, have served and won our wage; 
Have had success and failures, felt delight 

In love and home, known sorrow, helped to right 
Some wrongs, we trust, and, through all, kept our faith 
In Right and Truth and Virtue void of scathe. 


Now we are come—the fact we dare not blink— 
Eyes growing dim, feet faltering, near the brink, 
Whence very soon, as ebbs our failing force, 

We must take ship and steer an unknown course— 
With favoring breeze, we hope, on sea serene— 
On, and still on, into the Great Unseen! 


PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 


II 


What is this life we cherish? 
I query o’er and o’er, 
And does it wholly perish 
When throbs the pulse no more? 
—A little while for dreaming, 
For love, a little space, 
A period for scheming 
To win one wealth or place: 


So, to our purblind vision, 
The average life appears, 
Exciting now derision, 
Eliciting now tears! 
We can no way determine 
Why things are ordered so 
That some go robed in ermine, 
Some only tatters know! 


We pore o’er History’s pages 

In hope to gain a clew; 
We turn to seers and sages 

To learn what they thought true; 
And find that no man ever 

Has felt himself quite sure, 
When soul and body sever, 

That he shall still endure. 


CLASS OF °75 


But life is so unequal 
That justice must expect 
A compensating sequel 
To heal the world’s defect! 
And so, though all things alter 
When falls the stroke of death, 
We must not—dare not falter 
In hope and trust and faith. 


III 

But not to tones of sadness 

Alone Id tune my lyre; 
Tonight be joy and gladness 

That still our hearts conspire 
To glory and rejoice in 

The memories of old days, 
And lift our every voice in 


The old familiar lays. 


Oh, youthtime with its rapture 
In sunshine and in showers! 
Tonight we almost capture 
Those olden joys of ours: 
Again some youthful notion 
Our fancy seems to stir, 
Requickening old emotion 


Age could not wholly blur. 


PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 


Oh, happy days of learning 
Care-free and void of stress, 

But haunted oft with yearning 
Life’s largess to possess! 

In memory we relive them, 
In memory feel the zest, 

That youth alone could give them, 
That age alone can test. 


How golden loomed the distance 
We sought with longing eyes! 
We vowed that no resistance 
Should cheat us of its prize: 
Whatso the years have brought us, 
Whatso we’ve learned to do, 
For all, Old Nassau taught us 
The worth of being true. 


IV 
But let us pause a little to recall them, 
Our brothers who have crossed the Great Divide: 
Earth’s joys and sorrows can no more befall them, 
Nor any ill betide! 


10 CLASS OF ’75 


“Death is no evil save to those surviving!”’ 
So our good classmate Lionberger writes: 
Tis but cessation of life’s strenuous striving, 

Release from all affrights. 


But we—we mourn them, and in recollection 
Recount their deeds, their virtues, their acclaim, 

Ruing their passing, while with staunch affection 
We linger o’er each name. 


V 
To Alma Mater, glorious, 
God grant perpetual youth! 


May she be aye victorious 
In battling for the Truth! 


Still may she be most rigorous 
To teach young men the creed 

Of service, virile, vigorous, 
Whatso good cause has need! 


May she in all futurity, 
How great soe’er she grow, 
Preserve, in pristine purity, 
The spirit that we know: 


PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 11 


That whatso men may do in life 
To win them wealth or fame, 

They must be ever true in life 
To feed Truth’s sacred flame! 


This spirit she inherited 
From those who gave her birth; 
Through it she’s won, and merited, 
A fame that girds the earth! 


VI 


O Brothers mine, what shall be said to strengthen 
Our hearts and give them grace 

For future hours? The evening shadows lengthen 
And night comes on apace. 


A little while remains for love and laughter, 
For toil and cares and tears; 

And then we pass into the long hereafter, 
Where there are no more years. 


What shall confront us when we cross the border? 
—Ah, there is none that knows! 

We can but hope for larger life and order, 
For joy, love, and repose: 


12 CLASS OF °75 


For ampler knowledge, fuller comprehension 
Of God, of man, of life,— 

Completely freed of caste, creed, and convention, 
Of argument and strife. 


Still let us keep our hearts young, as in olden 
Care-free and joy-filled days, 
When all the dreams that thrilled our thoughts were 
golden, 
And flower-strewn seemed all ways. 


And “carry on” in faith and calm endurance, 
Until life’s bourne be passed, 
Our hearts cheered by th’ unwavering assurance— 


All shall be well at last!

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 775 


First DrecaDE 


E first decade after graduation was under the 
Secretaryship of Charley Murray. We have in 
our files all of the correspondence that led up 
to the first year’s record. We have a record of the tri- 
gennial, when we had a reunion and a class dinner. In 
1885 Charley resigned and the Decennial Record was 
printed. Since then we have a very complete file of 
correspondence. 

There were three deaths in this period. Charley 
Fleming, undoubtedly the sweetest spirit that ever 
blessed a college class. He had studied law, been ad- 
mitted to the bar of Dauphin County and was rising 
rapidly in his profession when he was translated, 
March 20, 1883. His memory is still green in the hearts 
of us all. 

Blinn also died February 6, 1877, less than two 
years after graduation. We lost track of him, but be- 
lieve that he taught school. We will remember that he 
had epilepsy while a student, but in spite of this hand- 
icap he was the strongest man in the class and shone 
as a heavyweight gymnast.

The third death was Stevenson, about whom we 
have never had any information. There are no letters 
from him on our files.

his studies in philosophy in America and Europe, had 
been married and was a professor in Columbia Uni- 
versity.

life of a gentleman of leisure, never engaging in busi- 
ness or getting married, living in or about New York

and served a term in the Missouri Legislature. He. 
kept his wonderful voice and enthusiasm, all on fire

turer in Philosophy in Neuchatel. During the first two 
years of the war Archie’s letters were very rich dis-

aflame it is very soothing to my nerves to read one of 
his lectures and his alarming threats written in Dad 
Atwater’s best style. These notes have become a per- 
fect joke from Constantinople to London. Americans 
seemed pleased with them. I suppose they are like the 
old lady who, in reading her Bible, found such com- 
fort in that blessed word Mesopotamia.”

OGL NI ‘NOINODAY HLAM-ALYOY ANT, 





For age 1s opportunity no less 

Than youth rtself, though in another dress, 
And as the evening twilight fades away 

The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day. 


Firrg DECADE 
1915 to 1925 


A. Alexander, who died in 1917 in Geneva, had 
been living in that town and was connected with the 
University of Geneva. His letters, written after the 
beginning of the war, were typical. His sarcasm was 
stimulated by the Wilson notes and their effect on 
European diplomats. He did not live long enough to 
appreciate their full effect upon the peoples of Europe. 

F. Alexander. Died in 1923. “F’ quietly slipped 
down the toboggan after a life, the quietest and most 
uneventful that can be imagined. He dreamed, and 
smoked, and read, and fished. 

Dr. W.S. Archer. “Little Sage’’ is still practising in 
Bel Air, Md., driving his old horse buggy as of yore 
and only the other day he was run down by an auto 
bus that threw him out, broke his ribs and treated him 
generally with contumely. 

Charley Allen. Practising law in St. Louis. His son 


52 CLASS OF ’75 


and son-in-law were in the service, and he is still the 
same singing evangelist of good cheer as ever. 

Charles H. Botsford. After a silence of ten years, 
word came to the Secretary on June 12 that he was 
on his way from Italy and would attend the Reunion, 
which he did, arriving late Saturday evening having 
travelled four thousand miles. Botsford makes his 
home in Italy and is engaged in various commercial 
enterprises. He has children and grandchildren and 
success has crowned his labors. He had many things 
to say about the New Europe and its vast economical 
problems. 

5. W. Bradford. Pebbles surprised us at the Forty- 
fifth with a very eloquent address on Patriotism and 
Good Citizenship and we made up our minds that he 
had been making good use of the forty years, during 
which he abstained from attending Reunions, poling 
for the greatest effort of his life and he “tore.” 

A. 5. Brown. Practising law in New York and run- 
ning a farm in New Jersey. 

James Edward Burr. Died April 6, 1924. One thing 
Burr did was to keep us pretty well informed of his 
movements during his life and we know that he de- 
voted himself to his profession. He missed coming to 
the Forty-fifth but looked forward to coming to the 
Fiftieth with much enthusiasm. 

Rev. John P. Campbell. Resigned his pastorate in 


PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 53 


Baltimore in 1918 after forty years of service. He is 
Director of the Board of Christian Education of the 
Presbyterian Church. 

Rev. Craig B. Cross. Has retired from the activities 
of the ministry and is living in Oxford, Pa. 

Rev. Dr. Allen M. Dulles. Professor of Theism and 
Apologetics at the Auburn Seminary where they have 
almost as many students as they have professors. 

George R. Elder. Practising law in Leadville with 
his son as a partner. His son served in the war and 
was mustered out a captain of infantry. “Chippy” 
got quite wrought up over receiving his “letter’’ for 
serving on the first football team to play Yale and 
sent to the meeting of the “remnants” of the two 
teams a long telegram narrating his work on that 
glorious day. 

Judge Endlich. Retired in 1925 as President Judge 
of the Twenty-third Judicial District of Pennsylvania, 
honored and respected by all men. He lives and prac- 
tises in Reading, Pa. 

Arch Bishop Eldredge. President Duluth, South 
Shore and Atlantic Railroad. Marquette, Mich. Died 
in New York City suddenly September 9, 1918. The 
“Senator” did not long survive the Fortieth Reunion 
which he attended and enjoyed very much. He was a 
very prominent lawyer in Michigan, gradually going 
more and more into railroad law. He became the 


54 CLASS OF ’%5 


Counsel and later the President of the above men- 
tioned railroad. He had a very happy disposition and 
was most successful in his business ventures. He was 
married, had three children, one son and two daugh- 
ters; his son, Ralph, graduated from Princeton, 
served in the War, studied law. Eldredge delighted in 
coming back to Princeton and renewing the compan- 
ionship of his college days. 

Rev. A. Frederick. Died May 1918 in Corinth, 
N.Y. He was retired. Two sons graduated from 
Princeton. 

Rev. D. Charles Noble Frost, Avon, N.Y. Jack 
served in the Avon pastorate for ten years, resigning 
in 1919. He has since then lived quietly and happily 
as Emeritus Pastor of his old church. 

Rev. Dr. George Washington Gallagher, D.D. Died 
in Baltimore, July 17, 1921, after a long sickness with 
paralysis. 

Joseph D. Gallagher. Died May 20, 1919, at Glen 
Ridge, N.J. He was a tireless worker in his business 
(Vice-President of the American Brake Shoe and 
Foundry Company) which grew to huge proportions, 
owing to large Russian contracts for munitions in the 
early days of the War, and also with the United 
States during later years. 

A. P. Garrabrant. Died October 9, 1918. His latter 


PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 55 


days were saddened by his blindness which curtailed 
his usefulness. 

Bolton Hall is continuing in his altruistic work. 
The following list is what he is interested in: (1) Free 
Acres. (2) A plan to get young people to write to the 
editor. (3) A scheme to establish a big settlement 
where any young man can get work. (4) An associa- 
tion to introduce the Pittsburg plan of taxation. 

George Bruce Halsted. Died March 16, 1922. Hal- 
sted’s death was pathetic; his later years seemed to be 
a progressive decline of his powers and ability, and his 
son wrote me that he had run an electric repair shop 
in Greely just before he came East. I first heard from 
him after he came East when he had gone to a little 
hotel in Long Island where he went to recuperate 
after some operative work in the Roosevelt Hospital. 
He wrote me from there, and almost immediately I 
received word from Mrs. Halsted that he was desper- 
ately sick at the Presbyterian Hospital where Bolton 
visited him. I also received a letter from President 
Hibben suggesting that we, as a Class, go to his as- 
sistance. On the same day I saw the notice of his 
death in New York. Brown and the Secretary at- 
tended the funeral of one of the most brilliant gradu- 
ates from our Alma Mater.

Dr. T. W. Harvey. Secretary of the Class of ’75. In 
1919 President of the Medical Society of New Jersey. 
Rev. James W. Hawkes. A missionary in Hamadan, 


PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 57 


Persia. He suffered many hardships and privations 
during the War, eventually being driven by the Turks 
and Kurds from Hamadan. He has, however, returned 
to his work there. 

Rev. Charles Herr retired from his Jersey City pas- 
torate in 1916. Later lived in New York City and 
Wayne, Pa., where he died on December 6, 1923. 

Dr. William Crawford Johnson is still practising 
medicine in his old home town of Frederick, Md., 
where he is the medical Jove, and he keeps the Secre- 
tary well informed about the queer things that happen 
to °75 men in Maryland. 

E. J. Kennard. Died February 10, 1920. He prac- 
tised law, farmed, and at the end was in the real estate 
business in Baltimore. He was not a very good cor- 
respondent and, consequently, we know little of his 
life. 

George M. Lanning. Lives in East Orange, N.J., 
and is in business in Newark. He has two sons, the 
elder, the Class Boy, is the Canadian Manager of the 
Prudential Insurance Co. 

I. H. Lionberger. Security Building, St. Louis, Mo. 
Residence, 37 Westmoreland Place. “‘Zach”’ practises 
law and writes essays on “de Senectute” which are 
read and enjoyed. He is rather cynical about college 
friendships and Reunions, but he reports good things 
of Charley Allen. Keeps sending sons to Princeton. 


58 CLASS OF ’75 


Growls at, but still loves us. The Class Secretary took 
a real vacation last summer and went with his family 
on the Mediterranean cruise. Almost the first man he 
met on the ship was Zach Lionberger taking the same 
trip with his son Arthur ’24. Zach had the time of his 
life and was the life of the ship. In two weeks he had 
conversed with 90 per cent of the five hundred pas- 
sengers, knew their various life histories and occa- 
sionally would confide to me his opinion of their char- 
acters. We had two months of real old Princeton 
bicker. Zach took part in everything, sports, hikes, 
donkey rides and all. 

Rev. W. B. Louderbough. Died May 18, 1919. His 
departure was sudden, but he had previously con- 
fessed to certain weaknesses indicating old age. He 
died in harness while conducting service in the old 
church that he had served so many years. He was fond 
of old ’75 and never failed to say so. 

Rev. John McElmoyle, Paoli, Pa. His last few years 
in Elkton were stormy ones as his reputation as a 
marrying parson brought him many clients from 
Pennsylvania and Delaware. He soon established a 
wide reputation in the local press, and eventually his 
clerical brethren took the matter up through the vari- 
ous governing bodies of the Church until it amounted 
to a persecution. His average yearly crop was a thou- 
sand marriages. 


PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 59 


Rev. Hector A. McLean died April 29, 1917. After 
many years in the old historic church of the Forks of 
the Brandywine, Pa., his latter days were darkened 
by a mental disorder the physical basis of which was 
the cause of his death. 

Rev. William Sidney Miller, D.D. Died May 18, 
1916. Our dear Billy served as a pastor to many 
churches in and about Pittsburgh, retiring in 1913 
because of ill-health. 

Dr. Henry Moffat. Our worthy President, our peer- 
less leader, practises medicine in Yonkers, dandles his 
grandchildren on his knee, smokes his pipe and thanks 
God he is a graduate of Princeton, vintage of ’75 and 
not as other men. Has two grandchildren. 

R. D. Morrow is in active business in Wilmington, 
Del. He keeps in close touch with Princeton and we 
hear from him regularly. 

‘Rev. Arthur Newman, D.D. Died in Bridgehamp- 
ton, N.Y., after forty years of uninterrupted services 
as pastor. A notable record, he died the same old blue 
presbyterian that he had always been. 

James S. Nickerson. Died May 2, 1916. Nick was 
back at the Fortieth after a lapse of thirty years. He 
told a tale of a busy life at home and abroad, with a 
very small crop of moss but wonderful experience. 

Frank Hunter Norton. Died, but no word has come 
to the Secretary since 1915. 


60 CLASS OF ’75 


Hon. James Pennewill, L.L.D., is Chief Justice of 
the Supreme Court of Delaware, a wonderful example 
of an upright and honest judge. “Jim” is as human as 
he always was, and while we don’t see him often 
enough he means well and really wants to come back 
and renew the old times. 

Rev. John S. Plumer, D.D. After preaching a long 
time in Baltimore he retired and settled in his old 
home Cadiz, Ohio. Mrs. Plumer’s death unsettled the 
old fellow so much that he is again preaching in 
Gibsonia, Pa. 

J. E. Ramsey is living in Swarthmore, Pa. He is also 
a banker in several banks; has a most charming family 
and keeps regularly in touch with the old Class al- 
though it is many years since he and Dickey lived up 
at the top of Reunion. 

Samuel C. Rea died on his way home from the 
Forty-fifth Reunion, but he had fulfilled the dream of 
his life, to bring his family to the old Princeton that 
he loved so much. 

Patterson A. Reese. Died February 1, 1916. He 
practised law, with his son as a partner, up to the time 
of his death. 

Robert C. Rodgers. Died May 2, 1920, dying very 
suddenly just after he had written to the Secretary 
that he could not attend the Forty-fifth. 

Charles Scribner. “‘Scrib” is just about as communi- 


PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 61 


cative to the Class Secretary as to his own personal 
accomplishments, as he is to ““Who’s Who,” which is 
not saying much. So far as I can see he has had the 
fullest life of any of us, I do not mean in material af- 
fairs alone, but in the wonderful association he has 
had with the great intellectuals of the world. It takes 
one’s breath away to read of the many who have con- 
fided the publication of their mental products to his 
hands. Princeton is one of his hobbies and the Class of 
°75 he cherishes with a very practical love. 

Fred Snow is still practising law in New York when 
he is near there. Practically retired, he spends his 
winters in the Carolinas and his summers on Long 
Island. He supports the Class faithfully, but does not 
venture to come to see us very often. 

John C. Ten Eyck. Lawyer, politician and at times 
a philosopher. He has as many notions today about 
golf as he had fifty years ago about Cow Warren 
trapping baseballs. He has some vagaries, but Doc. 
Moffat keeps him in hand most of the time. 

Walter H. Underwood. Practising law in New York. 

Charles R. Williams lives in Princeton retired from 
the worries and conflicts of life, playing occasionally 
upon his lute in that most charming environment. 
Most of us, who only see Princeton at intervals and 
with the crowd of returning alumni, forget the peace 
and charm of the sleepy old village noted even in the 


62 CLASS OF ’75 


early days of the Republic in the interesting letters of 
the student, William Patterson, quondam Governor 
of New Jersey. 

Dudley G. Wooten. Practised law, delivered politi- 
cal addresses, wrote law books, served as Judge both 
in Texas and Seattle. In 1924 he accepted appoint- 
ment as Professor of Law in Notre Dame University, 
Notre Dame, Ind. 

Martin Dasher Wylly. Died January 31, 1916. 
Dasher was connected with the Moses Taylor Estate 
as manager for many years previous to his death. He 
was paralyzed just before our Fortieth anniversary 
and for ten years we have had to do without him, 
than whom no classmate ever took more interest in 
the Class and in old Princeton. 


ZACH’S POEM 


Ah Tam, 

Your bugle sounds its last sad call 
To muster us for just a little while 
And then break ranks for ever more. 
The Class of Seventy-five, 

Where is it now? 

Who will distinguish mid the crowd 
What was himself? 

Are we the boys of that good time 
Less sadly phantom of ourselves 
Than they we call the dead? 

The faces round the board 

Most strange will seem 

Not smooth but deeply marked 

By Time’s relentless plow. 

We'll search in vain for friends 
Using the old familiar campus calls, 
But they we seek will make no answer 
To our halloo: 

Or if we hear a voice or see a form 
Which once we knew so well 

We shall but dream. 

Alas that it cannot be otherwise! 


64 


CLASS OF ’75 


And yet we still are boys in this: 
Remembering what once we were 
The old, old amity will swift revive, 
Assert its sway, 

And then for just a little while 

We'll love again as we did then, 

And maybe drink a toast 

To long ago 

When we were boys 

And meant what’s right 

And knew no ill 

And stern resolved to make the world 
A better place for us and men: 

A final toast to that dim once 

That knew no fears nor griefs nor doubts 
But only hopes and loves. 

And after we have drained the glass 
To what we were long long ago, 

To youth that once was ours, 

We'll part and say goodnight 


Never to meet again. 








CG6L NI OIND AY HLATLAT aH, 





Our heads with frosted locks are white 
Our roofs are thatched with snow, 
But red, wn chilling winter’s spite, 
Our hearts and hearthstones glow. 


THE FIFTIETH REUNION 


PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 


NatTionaAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION 
The Graduate Council 


Office of the Secretary PRINCETON NEW JERSEY 
V. LANSING COLLINS 


June 24, 1925 


Dr. Thomas W. Harvey, 
59 Main Street 
Orange, New Jersey 


Dear Si: 
This 1s to inform you officially that the Class of 1875 
won the 1901 Attendance Trophy for the year 1925. 
With warmest congratulations, 


Sincerely yours, 
V. Lansine Couns 
Secretary 


66 CLASS OF ’75 


This letter, showing the attendance of the Class at 
its Fiftieth Reunion, justifies all the efforts that were 
made to insure its success. The percentage was 64.5. 

Headquarters were opened on Friday June 12, 
1925. The following were present during the Reunion: 


Allen Plumer 
Elder Hall 

C. Williams Ramsey 
Harvey Ten Eyck 
Bradford Moffat 
Frost Brown 
Scribner Dulles 
Johnson Morrow 
Campbell McElmoyle 
Cross Botsford 


Class meeting was called to order by President 
Moffat at six-thirty o’clock. The minutes of the 1920 
Reunion were read and approved. The Secretary’s re- 
port was read. 


Secretary’s Report 


Since the meeting in June 1920 the class business has pro- 
gressed along the familiar way, the Secretary sending out a letter 
to everyone at least once a year. 

On June 19, 1921, the date of the laying of the cornerstone of 
Pyne Hall, the Class was represented and joined the other Classes 
in laying flowers on Mr. Pyne’s grave in Princeton Cemetery. 


PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 67 


At the suggestion of the Graduate Council, January 22, 1923, 
the Class sent a birthday greeting to Dr. Patton on his eightieth 
birthday. He was living in Bermuda at the time and sent an ap- 
preciative letter of thanks which the Secretary has not been able 
to read. 

Since the present Secretary took office, in April 1885, he has 
been in correspondence with most of the members of the Class 
during the intervening forty years, and has their letters on file, 
and, of many of those who have gone on, he has various obitu- 
aries and notices. He also has on file some record of the things 
that they have done. This record is far from complete. 

Some very curious developments have occurred during the 
fifty years. Men who apparently were careless, indifferent or even 
dissipated as undergraduates have become steady, upright citi- 
zens, doing their share of the world’s work in an honorable fash- 
ion and living sane, clean lives. Others pursued the same careless 
or reckless life after graduation as before, dropping to a lower 
level and went west unhonored and unsung. Others, above criti- 
cism as undergraduates, went downhill very rapidly when on 
their own. Some of these recovered and made splendid men, ac- 
complishing much for themselves and their fellowmen. The large 
majority of the Class have been good citizens, have done the 
work that came to them most creditably and they have left, and 
will leave, behind them fragrant memories of their virtues, and, 
departing, take with them the consciousness that the world is 
better for their living in it. 

The physical side of the story is interesting: Of the first ten 
men of the Class at graduation six are living. Of the first twenty 
names eight are dead. Of the last ten two are living. But one of 
the last twenty could be called athletic, while ten of the first 
twenty were given to athletics. 


68 CLASS OF °75 


Of the eighteen ministers seven are living, but all are retired 
except Dulles, although Plumer has taken up pastoral work 
again. 

Of the thirty lawyers twelve are living and working more 
or less; two are Judges and Wooten is Professor of Law at 
Notre Dame University. Of the eleven doctors five are living and 
working. 

There are thirty names on the mailing list. Six of them respond 
only at long intervals. There are twenty of them who keep up 
their interest in the Class and Princeton by writing to the Secre- 
tary now and then. 

There have been 125 children reported to the Secretary. I do 
not know how many are living. 


After this report was read Ten Eyck stepped for- 
ward and made an admirable presentation address, 
giving to the Secretary a very handsome stop watch 
with the following inscription: “From the survivors of 
Princeton 1875 to Thomas W. Harvey in remem- 
brance of his fifty years of love and service.” This was 
entirely too much for the Secretary who could only 
express his thanks in feeble and broken, yet heartfelt, 
phrases. 

Letters were read from Pennewill, Endlich and 
Lionberger. 

At seven-thirty o’clock dinner was served. 

About nine o’clock President Hibben stopped in 
and gave a short address of welcome and congratula- 
tions. 


PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 69 


C. Williams read a poem entitled “‘Verses, by 
Charles Richard Williams. Read at the Dinner of the 
Class of ’75 commemorating the Fiftieth Anniversary 
of Graduation.”’ 

Lantern slides of the Class groups taken during the 
undergraduate years, old views of Princeton, pictures 
of reunions and some of the ’74 slides were shown. 

Scribner gave an address on the state of the Univer- 
sity, the new phases of study and the plans of the ad- 
ministration for the future. 

The following resolution was offered by Allen: “Re- 
solved that the class of ’75, at the Fiftieth anniversary 
of its graduation, register their approval of the work 
of President Hibben and his associates in the admin- 
istration of the affairs of Princeton University and 
that we also express our enthusiastic appreciation of 
the part that our classmate, Charles Scribner, has 
taken in pushing their work to a success.” 

Much discussion followed with the result that at 
the end everyone was believing the same as at the 
beginning. 

On Saturday the class picture was taken at head- 
quarters. At noon the class took luncheon with Mr. 
and Mrs. Charles Williams at their residence on 
Cleveland Lane, a very delightful repast in a charm- 
ing environment. The President presented a shopping 


70 CLASS OF °75 


bag to Mrs. Williams, a gift from the class in appre- 
ciation of her many acts of courteous hospitality. 

At one o’clock the Class marched to the campus, led 
by its band, and thence to the University Field where 
we had the satisfaction of seeing Princeton win. 

Sunday and Monday were devoted to seeing the 
New Princeton. Headquarters were closed Monday 
afternoon, Scribner, Botsford and Plumer being the 
last to leave. 

On Tuesday Scribner received the honorary degree 
of Litt.D. from his Alma Mater in recognition of the 
position he has attained in his chosen calling and for 
his loyalty to Princeton. 


“Like clouds that rake the mountain summits 
Or waves that own no curbing hand, 
So fast has brother followed brother, 
From sunlight to the sunless land.”
